INTRODUCTION Within the frame of on-going cooperation with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Devel- opment, the Republic of Armenia has developed “Armenian Small Municipalities Water Project” (Operation Number 40718) which includes (i) improvement of municipal water supply in Tavush, Lori, Shirak, Gegarkunik, Kotayk, Syunik and Vayots-Dzor provinces and (ii) rehabilitation of wastewater treatment plants and sewerage collectors in Tavush (town of Dilijan) and Vayots-Dzor (town of Jermuk) provinces. The following agreements were signed within the aforesaid Project: a) Financing Agreement (“Grant-Co-Financing”) signed on January 20, 2011 between the European Union represented by the European Commission and the Republic of Armenia represented by the Ministry of Finance and “Armenian Water and Sewerage” CJSC. The grant proceeds under the Agreement make up 7.6 mln EUR. b) Loan Agreement signed on 14 July 2011 between the Republic of Armenia and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The loan proceeds under the Agreement make up 6.5 mln EUR. The Project foresees a contribution from the European Investment Bank amounting at 6.5 mln EUR (“EIB Co-financing”). Project also foresees provision of the technical grant from other donor organizations amounting at 1.1 mln EUR. The total investments under the Project are estimated at 21.7 mln EUR. The Project is targeted at rehabilitation of municipal water supply and wastewater systems in 14 towns and 3 villages in 7 provinces of Armenia. In general, 22 settlements were studied, however considering the limited loan funds it was decided to include into Project 17 settlements selected on a priority basis. Based on the preliminary investigations, the following approaches were applied for selection of activities in settlements; Direct the loan proceeds provided by EBRD to the most essential and priority improve- ment measures within WW systems of settlements (e.g. construction of WWTP in Jermuk, which is aimed at maintaining clean water in Lake Sevan). In order to get maximal tangible and notable results, it was decided to implement major rehabilitation and technical improvement of individual integral elementary components of WW systems, thus trying to avoid diffusion of investments (such as improvement of water supply system of Shamakhyan District of Dilijan). The Armenian Small Municipalities Water Project will be implemented in the following communi- ties: 4 Armenian Small Munisipalities Water Project SEP – 03/2013 AWS CJSC Fichtner Water & Transportation GmbH / “Jrtuc” LLC Table 1: List of communities.

    40 CHURCHES IN 7 DAYS 7 DAY TOUR ITINERARY* DAY 1 Meeting at the airport, transfer to the hotel and check-in. The first steps of your Pilgrimage will start from Katoghike Holy Mother of God and Zoravor Surb Astvatsatsin Churches, both dating back to the XIII century, situated in the centre of Yerevan. To get acquainted with the capital of Armenia, we will have a City Tour in Yerevan - one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the only one, that has a "Birth Certificate" - a cuneiform inscription, left by King Argishti I on a basalt stone slab about the foundation of the city in 782 BC, displayed at the Erebuni Fortress-Museum. Yerevan is often pegged as the "Pink City" because of the colour of the stones used to build much of the city centre. Another name of Yerevan is an "Open-air Museum", the reason of which you will understand upon your visit. We will start the City tour from visiting Cascade Monument which is about 450 meters high and 50 meters wide. A panoramic view from the top of Cascade opens up a breathtaking city view with Opera House, Mount Ararat, Swan Lake, Republic Square and posh Northern Avenue, along which you will walk down during the tour. We will also visit Matenadaran, which means a "book-depository" in old Armenian. Indeed, Matenadaran is the pride of Armenian culture, the world's largest storage of ancient manuscripts. In fact, it is a scientific research institute of ancient manuscripts which stores more than 17 thousand ancient manuscripts and more than 100 thousand ancient archival documents.

  • A. D. Sakharov Armenian Human Rights Foundation
    A. D. Sakharov Armenian Human Rights Foundation Monitoring Report On Working Conditions in First Instance Courts in Shirak, Gegharkunik, and Syunik Marzes (Regions) Studies were conducted and this Report was elaborated due to the generous financial and technical assistance of the OSCE Office in Yerevan and the Polish Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights Preface The mission of the A. D. Sakharov Armenian Human Rights Foundation is to support the establishment of a civil society in Armenia, to enhance legal awareness of the public, and to protect rights and freedoms of humans and citizens. The organization has three regional branches in Shirak (City of Gyumri), Gegharkunik (City of Gavar), and Syunik (City of Goris). In 2001, representatives of the three branches attended a series of “Monitoring and Human Rights” seminars held in Lusakert by the OSCE Office in Yerevan and the Polish Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights; as a practical follow-up to the seminars, and within the framework of the ongoing judicial reform, they have carried out a “Monitoring of Working Conditions in First Instance Courts” project in the Shirak, Gegharkunik, and Syunik regions of Armenia. The goal of the project was to explore the current conditions in which courts in the regions operate, because the working conditions and infrastructure of the third branch of government are crucial in terms of its stance, its improved role and authority, and guaranteeing the right of citizens to a fair and public trial within a reasonable time, as required under the existing laws. The concept of the judicial reform in the Republic of Armenia was formed under the Constitution adopted in 1995.

  • Armenia: Need to Monitor Progress Towards Durable Solutions
    23 February 2010 ARMENIA Need to monitor progress towards durable solutions Some 20 years after the beginning of Armenia’s war with Azerbaijan and related violence, information on the remaining 8,400 people internally displaced is scarce. People inter- nally displaced by the conflict have received hardly any government attention because other larger refugee and internally displaced groups have made competing demands on the state budget in a time of economic transition and crisis. International organisations have also largely neglected their plight. The low public profile and lack of registration and monitoring of these internally displaced people (IDPs) and returnees have made it diffi- cult to estimate how many have achieved durable solutions. IDPs and returnees face some of the same challenges as their non-displaced neighbours, and some face additional particular hardships including the loss of or damage to prop- erty, the unavailability of property restitution or compensation mechanisms, the inability to visit former homes and the continuing insecurity in border areas. Some suffered psy- chological trauma during the war, depend on welfare and are only minimally engaged in economic activities. The remaining IDPs and returnees will not achieve durable solutions until their specific needs are identified and addressed, reconciliation initiatives established and, above all, a peace agreement is realised. There is a need to support IDPs who have chosen to inte- grate in their place of displacement, accelerate recovery in border areas, create
